SLEEPY HOLLOW, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – A sleepy village in Westchester County is getting a tourism boost because of a classic short story and a new TV show based on the work.
As WCBS 880’s Peter Haskell reported, tours at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery have been packed in recent weeks, with many visitors heading for one site in particular.
“The grave of Washington Irving himself, the author of ‘The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow,'” cemetery superintendent Jim Logan told Haskell.
